World War II had a significant impact on Hoosier workers, particularly in terms of opportunities for women and African Americans. The correct response is:

Women and African Americans had more opportunities.

During the war, there was a high demand for labor as factories transitioned to production for the war effort, leading to increased employment opportunities for these groups. Many women entered the workforce in roles traditionally held by men, and African Americans also found more job opportunities due to the labor shortage.
